Got one band on your 2009 radar? (Page 1 of 2)

I think everyone knows we are all watching Back Door Slam. I can't wait for a second album!!!

Kings X  1. February ... But have still to buy tickets

You Know Christmas New Year sinking

Joe  RAH

The Answer -Their upcoming album 'Everyday Demons'  is likely to make these Irish rockers stars.

Ryan McGarvey -Just wait until you hear his second album. If you think his first was good...look out.

Back Door Slam -See above.

Mad Shadow -These young Canucks have channeled the spirit of 70's rock perfectly. Zeppelin meets Soundgarden meets Cream. With a bit more seasoning (expected as none are even 21) they are going to be a monster act, both on record and live.

Glyder -Yet another hard rockin' Irish band who have been making serious waves overseas. Their second album, 'Playground For Life' showed them moving a bit further from being heavily Thin Lizzy influenced, and closer towards establishing their own sound. As the album was one of the finest I heard all of 2008, I'm looking forward to the next one with anticipation.

Jaded Sun - Another astonishing debut. What's in the water in Ireland these days? First The Answer, then Glyder....and now this band, whose 'Gypsy Trip' was hailed by many critics as one of the finest debuts of the decade. If this is the beginning, this is one trip I'm looking forward to. Without those pesky flashbacks

We actually already have plans to see quite a few great bands in 2009.

We'll be seeing Jonny Lang in February. FREE SHOWS.  One at the Clearwater Sea Blues Festival and the next day at the Blues B-Q in Orlando. 

And for the first time we're going to the Wanee Festival in Live Oak, FL in April.  I'm really excited about this. The lineup has not been confirmed, but if it's anything like the last two years,  we're gonna see many amazing bands including The Allman Brothers, The Derek Trucks Band, Gov't Mule and Soul Stew Revival w/Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi.

That's it so far...   I'm excited about all of them.   Sorry I can't pick just one.

My one for 2009 is Jay Tamkin, following on the heels of Back Door Slam and Oli Brown, the Jay Tamkin Band are an up and coming rock blues band from Torquay who over the course of the last 18 months have toured the UK, Europe and The US. They have been snapped up by German label ROKOKO/In-akustik & the new CD will be released in Feb 09 to coincide with a tour in March with HAWKWIND.

Jay Tamkin is a funky rock blues guitarist who like so many is influenced by SRV, Walter Trout and Hendrix, but at barely 20 years old, and is a hot shot guitarist who is on the way up.  In the last 2 years he and his band opened for the likes of Ian Parker, Ian Siegal, Nine Below Zero, Sherman Robertson, Roy Ayers, MAN, Danny Bryant, POPA CHUBBY and Stan Webb's CHICKEN SHACK.

Jay’s debut album “Sorted” will be released in February 2009. Apparently the album will feature “an ecletic mix of songs” all written by Jay and will combine “Jay’s original rock style with twelve-bar blues, latin acoustic, up-tempo blues and haunting slower blues including the song, “I Remember When”.
